I have a 2002 Launch SSV and the engine is bogging down when I am giving it gas to get up on plane. I have since replaced the fuel filter and no change. Has anyone else had this problem? Any advice would be great.

Isnt the first thing to check water in the gas. I know that has been a problem for me before especially if it has been sitting all winter. It usually means emptying the water/fuel separator and adding some additive to your gasoline.

I had water in the gas of an old boat of mine. It would start and idle fine, but when you gave it gas and raised the bow, the water in the fuel filter would spill out into the carb and kill it. So since you already changed the filter, check the gas.

Same thing happend to my boat, it would get up to 3200 rpm then go back to 3000 with the gas to the floor. Ended up being a oil pressure sensor. If the impeller looks good and you still have issues don't kill you master power switch until you get it to someone that can read the computer on your motor. If you turn your power switch off it will clear all the codes and nothing will show up when they go to read it.

I paid $75/hr for mechanic, he told me what was wrong and what I needed. I went to a auto parts store bought the sensor for $60 and put it in myself. I have a 2000 Indmar 325 assault and it takes parts for a 97 chevy 4.7L. The key is to find a good mechanic who will shoot you straight.

Engine temp is normal. I ran it for the first time since changing the fuel filter with a new tank of gas today. I also topped off the v-drive level and tranny fluid, cleaned filter and it drove like new today. Thanks for all your tips
